So, RC will strip x counters depending on how far up you've trained it. Great. With poisons, diseases, curses it's usually not to hard to figure out how many counters the effect has -- not uncommonly Lucy has the info reasonably recognizeable.

What about detrimentals? Are they run by counters or does RC clear them (or not) through a different mechanism/calculation? If counters, any notion on where in the lucy raw spell data to look for the number of counters on a detrimental? For instance, just a simple example. Root is flagged detrimental, RC strips it away pretty easily. But anybody know where -- or if -- you could have predicted that that was the case via lucy?

We know it's not counters because we don't get the same outcome each time we try to cure a particular spell with it.

So far the mechanism is unknown I think. However, this might provide a clue:

Purify Soul has 6x Remove Detrimental(9).

Perhaps each Remove Detrimental line is a chance to remove one detrimental spell with no counters, and the argument 9 represents 100% chance? Has anyone done any testing by putting up 7 detrimental spells with no counters then using Purify Soul?

Radiant cure will generally remove any malo, tash, or player character cast detrimental under 18 counters.

It is really lacking in affect with regard to mobs.

I use pureblood and remove greater curse most of the time and use radiant cure to get rid of snare/root/tash/malo =(
